What is the Investment Objective of the Quantum Gold Fund?

The Investment Objective of the Scheme is to generate returns that are in line with the performance of gold and gold related instruments subject to tracking errors. However, investments in gold related instruments will be made if and when SEBI permits mutual funds to invest, in gold related instruments. The Scheme is designed to provide returns that before expenses, closely correspond to the returns provided by gold.

Tell me more about the Quantum Gold Fund or QGF.

Quantum Gold Fund is an Exchange Traded Fund also known as ETF.

ETF units are listed on stock exchanges and traded like equity shares. An ETF would have some underlying security or group of securities like an index, sector stocks or commodities, like gold. These underlying securities determine the ETF’s value.

A Gold ETF is fund that has gold as the underlying security. So, the value of the ETF is derived from the value of underlying gold. Gold ETF would be a passive investment; so, when gold prices move up, the ETF appreciates and when gold prices move down, the ETF price comes down. As Gold ETFs track gold prices, the only differentiating factor would be the costs borne by the Fund House.

Quantum Gold Fund – QGF is an open ended exchange traded fund which will invest in Physical Gold. It seeks to offer investors an innovative and cost-efficient way to invest in gold. Each unit of the QGF will be approximately equal to price of half (½) gram of Gold. Through the lower cost of operations and the availability of units having smaller denominations, QGF would provide investors an excellent means of asset allocation.

It is pertinent to note that Quantum Mutual Fund is India’s first and only Direct to Investor fund house and does not pay any commission whatsoever to distributors. Not paying commissions decreases the expense of most of our schemes and thereby adds to the returns of the schemes (subject to performance).
